Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of controlling the nature of samples by Raman spectroscopy.
- the invention is particularly useful for the analytical quality control (CQA) of products prepared extemporaneously in hospital pharmacies.
- the "certification of Therapeutic Objects (OT)" via the concept of in situ release CQA, aims in fact to guarantee the parameters, identity, purity and concentration of the molecules of interest.
- These products may be of high added value (for example monoclonal antibodies), or may require precautions for use (for example cytotoxicity for products intended for chemotherapy).
- Raman spectroscopy has a number of advantages:
- Raman spectroscopy The principle of Raman spectroscopy is as follows: the radiations of a powerful monochromatic (laser) source are conducted in an optical fiber, and focused on the sample to be analyzed, thus provoking its excitation. The light scattered by the sample is collected by a sensor and then fed through an optical fiber to the separator (monochromator). Coupled with a detector it then provides data on the sample that need only be processed by computer. In general, the scattered light is collected either at 180 ° or at 90 °.
- monochromatic laser
- Portable infusers are lightweight, disposable devices to enable slow, continuous infusion of chemotherapy.
- the product of Chemotherapy is contained in a flexible balloon reservoir, which is itself placed inside a rigid envelope.
- the invention thus relates to a chamber for the analysis of a sample by Raman spectroscopy, characterized in that it is in the form of an opaque parallelepiped, presenting
- said fixing means (4) comprising adjustment means (8) for varying said focus point of the excitation radiation on a vertical axis to allow adjustment of the height of said focusing point within the chamber analysis.
- the terms “vertical” and “lower” are related to how the chamber is preferentially set up when it is used to analyze a sample. In fact, this clearly means that the sample introduction flap is located on a first wall.
- the first port and the means (4) for attaching a light source to provide excitation radiation and a lens (22) for convergence of the excitation radiation to define a focus point of the excitation radiation are located on a second wall which is perpendicular to the first wall.
- the second orifice and the means for fixing a sensor for detecting Raman scattered light are located on a wall, which is not parallel (vis-à-vis) to the second wall.
- the light source laser head
- the lens are located on the lower wall of the chamber according to the invention.
- the light is sent from the bottom to the top.
- This embodiment is preferred because it makes it possible to characterize the sample which is placed on the floor of the lower wall, above the first orifice.
- the laser head it is possible to implant the laser head on a sidewall (the first orifice then being in a side wall of the chamber), this actually being to "turn" the room during use.
- Several laser heads can also be implanted for the acquisition of Raman data in different points of the sample. In this case, however, it should be checked that there is no interference between the different detectors, so that each detects the scattered light after excitation by a specific head.
- Raman spectroscopy amounts to collecting and analyzing the light scattered by the sample after excitation, generally at 90 ° or 180 ° from the axis of the excitation laser beam.
- the second port is coincident with the first port.
- the scattered light is collected at 180 °.
- the fixing means (4) and the fixing means of said sensor are also merged. They then contain two optical fibers (one bringing the light emitted via the laser head, and the second conveying the light scattered by the sample towards the monochromator and the detector).
- the laser parallel monochromatic light source
- the laser is coupled to a lens allowing the convergence of the light beams in a small volume of the sample that is to be analyzed. The distance between the lens and the point of convergence is known to the operator, and is expressed by the focal length of the lens.
- the fastening means (4) enable the light source (the laser head) and the lens to be moved together.
- the laser head is fixed relative to the bottom wall of the analysis chamber, and only the lens is movable on the vertical axis.
- said fixing means (4) of said light source and the lens comprise a light-tight sleeve attached to the bottom wall of the chamber.
- this sleeve is screwed to the bottom wall of the illumination chamber.
- the light tightness of the sleeve is achieved by making it in an opaque material (such as polycarbonate). This allows both to avoid the "contamination" of the light beam by the ambient light and to protect the operators.
- an opaque material such as polycarbonate
- the adjustment means of the moving assembly (which is the light source and the lens when these two elements are integral or the lens alone) comprise a millimeter screw.
- a millimetric screw and can move on the elements to be movable on the vertical axis very accurately. It is thus possible to use a millimetric screw allowing positioning to the hundredth of a millimeter.
- the principle of the millimeter screw is to induce a translational movement from a rotational movement of the screw.
- the thread allows to define the precision of the screw (displacement in translation for each turn of screws).
- this screw is connected to a counter for knowing the displacement of the screw, equal to that of the moving assembly, and therefore the height of the focusing point within the chamber according to the invention.
- the focal length of the lens is 20 mm, and that the moving assembly is flush with the floor of the chamber at point 0 of the counter. This implies that the focal point of the light is 20 mm above the floor.
- the moving object is lowered by 7 mm.
- the chamber according to the invention can be fixed on a frame comprising feet.
- This frame may also include means for adjusting the height of the chamber relative to the frame (for example adjustable feet on a screw jack).
- the chamber may carry means for measuring the flatness, such as a spirit level, to ensure that the sole is perfectly horizontal.
- the walls of the chamber are machined in any opaque material. It should be noted that the different walls can be in different materials. In a preferred embodiment, is used, at least for the sole, a material to ensure the best possible flatness, avoiding the maximum relief irregularities on the sole. It is thus possible to use polycarbonate or carbon material.
- the thickness of the walls of the chamber according to the invention is defined by those skilled in the art, is generally greater than 0.5 cm and generally does not exceed a few centimeters. It is thus possible to use carbon walls with a thickness of 1 cm.
- the opacity of the chamber makes it possible to avoid measurement interference that could be due to ambient light during the implementation of the Raman spectroscopy measurement. It also helps protect operators.
- the sample introduction flap in the chamber according to the invention can be of any kind. However, it is important that it preserves the opacity of the room once closed. We can therefore provide a seal to do this.
- the hatch can slide in a guillotine along a side wall (top to bottom or bottom to top). It can also be opened via a system of hinges, or a rack (motorized or not). Reminder systems (such as springs) can also be envisaged to assist the operator in closing the hatch after placing the sample. It can be fixed in closed position by any means (magnet, hook ).
- the invention also relates to a method of analyzing a sample present in an envelope comprising the steps of
- the detection of the Raman scattered light is obviously carried out by means of a sensor fixed on the means for fixing a sensor of said chamber.
- this method is particularly useful when said sample is a liquid solution, and said envelope is chosen from a syringe, an infusion bag, a bottle, a beaker or similar container, a bulb, an infuser portable.
- the method is implemented with a sample that is solid, said envelope being chosen from a capsule, a capsule and a solid coating.
- the excitation radiation is emitted for a duration of between 1 second and one minute.
- the duration of excitation is defined by the operator and depends in particular on the power of the laser, and the nature of the sample to be analyzed.
- the sample is often subjected to several excitation radiations, and the data collected for each excitation is averaged.
- the present invention also covers the use of Raman spectroscopy, in general, to characterize the contents of a portable brewer.
- the invention also covers the use of Raman spectroscopy, in general, for characterizing an anticancer, as described in the examples. Description of Drawings
